re: Gay Marriage Spinoff: Where should the new line be drawn on marriage?

I am interested to see how many same-sex marriages there are that are between friends who have no intention of having sex or being romantic in any way but just want to make their union legal for various reasons.

I would happily marry my bestie (no secks involved). Then she would get the benefit check of my retirement if I die. She would be my next of kin if I were terminally ill and take care of things the way i wanted, etc.

She would distribute the things in my will the way I wanted, etc.

She would work and I would be a stay at home wife taking care of her. Just stuff like that.
